Mavericks score with 4.5 left, and Klay Thompson misses at the buzzer, as Mavs top Warriors in Dallas. So, Rockets not eliminated quite yet. They just have to win out and the Warriors have to lose every game remaining (including two against the Jazz, one against the Blazers.) – 11:05 PM

The Portland Trail Blazers won tonight. Toronto now sits 2.5 games back of the 5th worst record. Seems extremely unlikely Portland wins enough to give the Raptors a chance to close that gap. – 9:33 PM
